from us this

coming live stream and uh what we're

about to read in it from the biography

of the great

hassan al-basri one of the greatest

scholars

that our ummah has ever seen from the

taberin

and he was somebody

why we say very clearly that he was one

of the greatest scholars simple reason

the sahabah themselves were impressed

with him the kibar of the sahaba major

major sahabah were all impressed

with that hassan al-basri amongst them

when hassan al-basri

was grew up and was a speaker and was

speaking to the people

isha herself said

who is this person who speaks with the

words

of the siddiquin all right siddiq is

like the highest level of of piety and

wiley and knowledge

okay ns ibn medic

set about at hasan and basuri

he said

when people started asking him questions

and he became older he said go

to hassan for

he has he remembers everything he's

young and remembers and we've gotten old

and we've forgotten

okay

so if the sahaba the kibara sahaba

endorse this man we know that his

rank is something special it's something

else completely

uh another thing that used to happen

his mother

hassan and basuri's mom

used to take him and this is something

that people should do

she used to take him around to the

sahaba and say pray for my son

make dua for them amongst them was um

and he said

okay make him a o allah give him

knowledge

and make the people love him okay

make the people love him so that they

could go and take uh habibu

make him beloved to the people so they

could take knowledge from him so that's

hasan and basuri and that's who we're

going to talk about today and he has a

lot of amazing stories

so

uh hassan al-basri imam al-ghazali said

about him his his speech was the closest

to the speech of the prophets

his way everything about him was an

imitation of the ways of prophets and

his hedy his guidance his his way was

just like the sahaba

how could it be otherwise when he was

raised by the sahaba he met some of the

greatest of sahabah he spent a lot of

time with jabbar abdullah ana sibin

malik

okay

i live in ebitda many many hassan and

hussain many many sahaba did he spend

time with he was literally raised by

them his father

was was one of the non-muslims who were

captured during the battles of the

sahaba

and then he became a muslim and then he

became a servant and he was assigned to

zaid bin tabit the scribe of the prophet

saws

the famous scribe who was involved in

all the compilations of the quran the

quran was compiled of course two times

and it was written five times

so it was compiled once

and he was zeidman tabit was in charge

of that for he was this the prophet's

number one scribe of the quran

and then in the time of abu bakr he was

in charge of gathering it in the time of

satan uthman ibn afan

zaid bin tabit was in charge of

writing down the uh the

literally having the quran written okay

uh with the spelling of quraish him and

for other members of quraish they

literally wrote the quran cover to cover

and they made

four or five copies of the quran all

right so

his father was the servant of zebentabet

now his mother so you see that the poor

muslims who love knowledge allah always

takes from their

from their offspring and elevates their

offspring there's a famous hadith the

prophet saws

is attributed to the prophet so i said

i'm some attributed to other than the

messenger that it says

be one of four and not the fifth

be a scholar be learned

or

someone who's studying right either

someone who's learning

a scholar or someone who studies

or

or serve the scholars there's always

people who who are serving they may not

be students they may not be scholars but

they're like the admins the volunteers

the behind the scenes like the clock the

the working of the clock behind the

scenes they make everything move

or be someone who loves them

so his mother and his father they they

were they were misaki and they were poor

they worked in the service business they

were just servants

of the sahaba but they loved knowledge

and they believed and his mother used to

take him around and she took him to um

was her employer

who was um wife of the prophet peace be

upon him

so her employer was the wife of the

messenger

and then he was born on the eighth year

of satan

so he was born 10 years after the

passing of the messenger

she her name was khera

this woman's name was khaira

she gave birth to him

and at that time she was working for um

and she was too busy they were very poor

so she would leave

hassan

with um

and it is said that um

would nurse him or even like busy busy

him

right and i don't know if how she would

nurse him

because she didn't have children

but that she would just like breastfeed

as if he was eating

right

and he would suckle she would suckle him

at her at her breast

and sometimes some said that there was

milk there and some said no she was just

like she would just rock him to sleep
